One Flight Up: Elevator Testing with the Pocket AE™

The Pocket AE™, our portable Acoustic Emission (AE) system, was recently used to examine the structural integrity of elevator drive shafts in Japan. Engineers used the handheld inspection instrument during weighted cab tests to determine the presence of structural cracks and deformities throughout the elevator’s drive shaft. The Pocket AE was chosen for this project due to its portability and functional testing capabilities. The system is ideal for restricting and hard to reach areas, like elevator shafts.
